DIYsect

CUT/PASTE/GROW congratulates DIYsect—”filming biotinkering for the web”—on its launch! Check out the site to see the first two videos, and stay tuned for the upcoming Kickstart campaign. More on the project:

DIYsect is a documentary web-series that introduces people in the DIY Biology, Bioart, and general biotech community. The footage is gathered by Ben and Mary, a filmmaker and bioartist who travel across the continent to film and interview. Our goal is to discuss the way biotechnology is used in our society and what this means for the average citizen and their future.

The docu-web series is divided into 6-10 minute episodes that are free and fully accessible on the web. That way, like our subjects, we’re promoting public literacy on Biology, too.
